My Genealogy Hound

C. C. Mayfield, farmer and a member of the firm of Mayfield Bros., was originally from Saline County, Ark., where his birth occurred in 1848, and is the third of eight children born to Andrew J. and Rachel Brazziel (Cobb) Mayfield [see sketch preceding this]. C. C. Mayfield was taught the duties of the farm in his boyhood, and received his education in the common schools. When twenty one years of age he began clerking for Morgan & Ross, with whom he remained three years, and then returned to tilling the soil, which he has since carried on. He was married in December, 1872. to Miss Sarah E. Morgan, the daughter of G. M. Morgan [see sketch], and to this union was born one child, Josie E. Mr. Mayfield’s present farm, consisting of 240 acres near Caledonia, is a fine tract of land, and he has 125 acres under cultivation, most of which he has cleared himself. He raises about one-half bale of cotton to the acre, has a small orchard, and raises some fine stock. He is quite active in church and school matters, and, in fact, is interested in all affairs pertaining to the welfare of the community. He is a first-class farmer, a good business man and an excellent citizen. Socially he is a member of the Masonic fraternity.
